There is no information in the Line about dinner packages for this year yet but there should be info through Disney Dining soon.

Originally Posted By imadisneygal Not that I am aware of, she hasn't. But then I haven't been there as often as I'd like this year now that I'm living in San Diego.

Personally I'm happy with the two Ambassadors Disneyland has this year and I know that they're doing A LOT and are busy every day. It would sure be cool if she was there for Candlelight. One can only hope...

She was there on May 4 and 5 this year, and was all over the place. You can go back in the archives and look at the coverage LP offered to see her.
